WE ARE ONE CLUB

ONE HISTORY​

​

TWO CITIES​

#AFLTigersSwans #ProudlySydney #GoBloods #GoSwans #Bloods

Bloods win by Skilton + Heriot + Round = (14+21+25) = 56 points

 

[hairy biker]

Great preview SwansProudly

Got me fired up, need the team to follow suit.
I think we can take the win.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Carn swans. Rip em to pieces.

 

[SwansProudly]

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

Hope we can continue our momentum that we have been building and we continue to crack in through the whole game. If we add some goalkicking accuracy, we will be unstoppable!!

Hopefully with a rest and additional training, Buddy is ready to go too. Although he has struggled this year, he has been an absolute legend of our club (and the game) and looking forward to watching him play in the flesh for one of the last times.

Go Swans!!

 

[anotherletdown]

We'll win. Simple

The tough bit is score prediction.... 91-80 feels about right.

What I'd really like to see is a tactical Buddy blitz. Let him run around drawing defenders and completely avoid him. Then nominate 5 mins per quarter where we fully focus on him. We need to find a way of making the decision for our midfielders... because at times they just don't seem switched on enough to share F50 entries around.

 

[MR0808]

I've tipped us as my roughie this week. I believe we can do it. Hopefully I'll be there tonight

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Carn the Bloods.

'This is one club': Swans pay homage to Bloods heritage

Sydney will honour its South Melbourne roots as part of Heritage Round this weekend

[The King!]

Richmond are junk we should account for them .

Will piss it in by 40 plus

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Hayward to kick 5 & be BoG.

 

[Superstar swan]

Season on the line...watch heeney rise to the occasion, put the club on his back and carry us over the line tonight

 

[MF]

Hoping Buddy gets some of the delivery our forwards have had the past 2 weeks.

 

[grimlock]

Hoping Buddy gets some of the delivery our forwards have had the past 2 weeks.

Richmond are equal number #1 in intercept marks with Balta and Vlastuin 2nd and 7th in the AFL. They are also number #1 in spoils. If we go blindly bombing to Buddy or any of our other forwards, they will pick us off.

BTW we are last in intercept marks, sorely missing PMac

Thankfully the club would also know this information, and I'm sure we'll lower our eyes, pick out viable targets.

 

[bedford]

Hayward to kick 5 & be BoG.

He's 13/1 to kick 3

Getting very windy , but sunny atm

Oh we are ****ed

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Francis the only named emergency not playing in VFL, so he'll be in team tonight somewhere.

Francis the only named emergency not playing in VFL, so he'll be in team tonight somewhere.

Yay... look forward to his run and ability to match up on all the Tigers gun KPFs if needed.

 

[SM]

No Barry?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Francis the only named emergency not playing in VFL, so he'll be in team tonight somewhere.

Vaguely makes sense as the sub as he can fit anywhere

 

[Millky95]

Sub for either McCartin or Buddy depending on needs in the 4th imo

 

[Bloods86]

Vaguely makes sense as the sub as he can fit anywhere

Doesn't make any sense. If we're fearful of Bud or TMac going down or not fit enough, don't play them.

Can anyone explain why Francis, in questionable conditions, against this opposition, is a good choice for sub? We already have 4 possible KPDs in the team against Riewoldt, a resting ruck and a 192cm debutant. Heeney or Hayward can take a KPD if needed, Francis isn't going to do any better.
